"I voted for this report, which was initially proposed by my group, the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left. It highlights the extent to which women are most affected by precarity, which is a persistent feature of the labour markets in all EU Member States. In fact, almost 80% of part-time work is carried out by women; they hold the majority of fixed-term contracts; and they earn, on average, 16.4% less than their male counterparts in the same jobs, with this figure rising to 17.1% in the service sector. This report highlights the extent to which the practical inequalities between men and women persist at a high level, despite the EU’s efforts in this area. Consequently, the report calls on the Member States to improve women’s working conditions, for example, by ratifying without delay Convention No 189 of the International Labour Organisation (‘Decent work for domestic workers’) or by turning precarious work in the service sector into stable work through different measures (introduction of a special regime for the personal service sector in order to combat undeclared work, efforts by the Council to break the deadlock with regard to the amendment to the directive on pregnant workers)."@en1
